Internet marketing has always been a bit of a minefield for people new to the arena; banner advertising, text link advertising, CPM, CPA, PPC, email advertising, SPAM, etc. Finding the way through this minefield can be very confusing and expensive unless you know what you are doing. When pay per click advertising entered the market, advertisers gained a big piece of control.
With pay per click advertising, the advertiser remains in control of the advertising campaign. He is able to target the audience and to set his own price per click (pay per click). Most PPC advertising networks allow advertisers to specify the target audience by geographic location and topic or industry. The advertising networks have websites of publishers lined up where those ads will be displayed.
In PPC advertising, the advertiser creates the ad copy and sets a limit per click that he is willing to pay. Most PPC advertising networks provide tools to see how that pay per click limit applies to other advertisers' bids for the same audience/industry. This PPC management feature reveals if a pay per click limit is competitive. Once all PPC management tasks are complete, the ad copy is displayed on an ad location that pays the most per click. The higher the bid, the more likely an ad is seen.
On the first look, PPC advertising sounds expensive. What would happen if somebody goes on a rampage and clicks an ad repetitively? Imagine your competition sabotaging your PPC ad campaign budget by falsely clicking ads. In theory, this could bump up the bill for the advertiser dramatically. PPC advertising networks usually have some sort of protection build in to recognize click fraud, fortunately.
To further control overall PPC expenses, advertisers also have the opportunity to set a daily ad budget. Once the budget has been fully used, ads will no longer be displayed until either the budget is increased or the next day starts. Pay per click offers the opportunity to advertise to a world wide audience without ever exceeding your budget, no matter its size.
Depending on the advertising network, PPC ads appear in search engines or on regular websites.
Although relatively easy straightforward to set up, the success of PPC campaigns are not always easy to measure. It takes many hours and days of research into your business and competitors to find the right combination of pay per click budgeting, ad copy and target audience. Running PPC campaigns can be a full time job by itself. That is why some companies choose to completely outsource their campaigns to PPC Management companies, to get the most ROI (Return of Investment). Usually these are players with large interest in a certain market, and with pockets deep enough to fund this kind of service.
Advertising via PPC is somewhat different than other forms of advertising. The advertiser has more control over several aspects of the advertising campaign, and can react faster to trends and changing market conditions.
